I’ve been living in the Gamma MX Hoody since October, and it’s the first jacket I reach for whether I’m heading to the local crag or just grabbing groceries in sideways sleet. The Wee Burly Double Weave doesn’t look techy—more like a beefy work shirt—but it shrugs off wet snow and chalk dust with the same indifference. I was skeptical about the lack of a membrane, yet the thing somehow blocks wind Ding Yi Zhao · REI

Love how functional, yet stylish this jacket is. It could be (depending where you live) your all in one jacket. For going to work, or climbing a mountain, or biking. It’s been -20C where I live, and with the right layering, it’s been great! Breathable, yet keeps the wind chill out - and doesn’t become mega crunchy like most jackets (this has more of a soft crunch). The waterproofing is amazing!! W Jonathon B. · altitude-sports.com
